So the new spell pack...

[cjcgraziani]

Okay now that we are getting new spell packs, can we please get shield buff spells! Elden ring has them, dragon's dogma has them, hell even one of the enemies in lotf has a radiant shield buff spell - can we get them too!!!

[lilgirlcharlotte]

we dont need them as resist on shields are super high most elements 100% others like 85%. just dont be stingy and max your momentum

The fact that you are asking for shield buff means you have not played the game long enough. The shields are insanely amazing already.

Yeah - not for an increase to block but something else cool - an aura buff to the shield could be made to do lots of cool things - like a small heal on perfect block or a small fire tick or wither damage applied to the enemy - instead of making assumptions about how I play the game - think creatively my dude!

False, shields are highly under tuned. They can’t even block an enemy pushing you.

I would love to get more buff spells, including those for shields. I prefer to use magic/mana in Souls-like for buffs rather than offensive spells. These spells can be tuned separately for PvE and PvP so they can be actually useful in PvE but do not wreck PvP balance.

Shield buffs/spells examples:
1. Improved poise break value & better stability
2. Apply status effect (depending on school of magic of the spell) on block / increased amount applied when parrying/perfect blocking
3. Reducing amount of wither damage received & heal small amount of wither upon parry

there's already some high magic defense shields, you don't need to copy everything just for the sake of it. not needed imo.

I think a major appeal of these types of games is being able to build a character out and play them the way you want. So long as things are added with balance in mind why would it be a bad thing to have another cool thing added? There are projectile spells and weapon buffs for days in these games. Why can't we see an interesting shield spell for utility and for those of us that enjoy a melee spell knight? I'm surprised to see people quickly saying things like "not needed". You can beat the game with a stick and no armor but having all the other things is what makes it fun and interesting. I'm not asking for a super nova delete everything spell, just something that would make blocking and parries more interesting.
